Aiming at enhancing the electrochromic properties of anodically colored NiOthinfilms, lithium doped NiOthinfilms were grown on FTO/glass substrates, by the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method. Optimized conditions, namely a room temperature substrate under 10 Pa oxygen pressure were used. Comparison with undoped NiOthinfilms indicates that lithium doping deteriorates NiO cubic phase (1 1 1) preferred orientation and also induces lattice disorder. The investigation of the electrochromic properties of Li-Ni-O thinfilms in aqueous liquid electrolyte, 1 M KOH, on the one hand and in hydrophobic lithium conductive ionic liquid, 0.3 M LiTFSI in BMITFSI, on the other hand, demonstrates an improvement in the electrochromicperformances with lithium doping. Finally, electrochromicdevices built on the association of WO3 and Li-Ni-O thinfilms and using the above quoted ionic liquid blended with PMMA as electrolyte are reported. Good electrochromicperformances and neutral color are shown.Read less <
